We got chickens!!!
Our whole family is pretty excited about them but Ethan is by far the most excited :-) We don’t have any other pets so he thinks this is a pretty big deal! We got 8 of them but 2 of them are little and those are his favorite :-) We have to get on to him about carrying them around everywhere!!!
We let them free range during the day in our backyard so first he has to catch them! He is getting pretty good at it actually :-)
“Got him!!!” (yes, he refers to all of our hens as “him”) ;-)
See mom!
He LOVES this chicken! This is the one he carries around ALL the time… (poor chicken)
We are still working on names… If you have any suggestions please leave a comment!
He is a good little chicken :-)
I wonder if she will still let Ethan carry her around like this when she gets older?
After a little while her little friend came over to say hello :-)
Please leave a comment and let me know what you think :-)

I had a whole other idea planned for this month but I waited too long, and it has rained quite a bit, and it just didn’t happen… This was my backup plan and I am really pleased with how it turned out! I know they may not be “fantastic” but they are of my little boy (who wont be so little before I know it) playing with his trains and bridges. He LOVES the bridges. He asks if we can get more for his train set often.
I love watching him play, making the sound effects, having the trains talk to each other, he creates a whole world in his imagination and I know I want to remember every detail forever.

This months project theme was Song Lyrics. I can’t believe how hard it was to choose what I was going to do this month!!! I finally decided on Splish Splash and I couldn’t be happier :-). Every time I see bath pictures I think “I NEED to do that with my kids!” but with 3 kids, baths are more of a 2 parent event and normally leaves little time to take pictures. Last night we switched up the routine a bit and I was able to catch a few moments that will help me remember all of our bath time memories :-)
Splish Splash I was taking a bath, All about a Saturday night.

This is the reason. The reason I needed to figure out how to use my camera. The reason I love this craft. There are beautiful moments that happen in this house every single day. Moments that slip through the fingers of my memory before I can even find time to write them down. I have 3 kids, 3 beautiful children and I want to remember them just as they are.
I plugged in my SD card this evening to pull off some images that I took today and I was surprised to see these. This memory had already been forgotten. I took them quickly, Noah started to get upset, Lauren needed help in the bathroom (potty training). After quickly snapping a few I set my camera down on the kitchen counter and went back to work. This thing called photography is beautiful. It makes me not just see the precious moments, but forces me to stop and appreciate them. Even after I have forgotten those moments, it then reminds me how beautiful my life is. It’s the moments in the middle of our crazy life that are so sweet, I want to savor and remember them for always.
